Che fine ha fatto il femminismo sulla questione musulmana?

Interessante parallelo tra il disinteresse di oggi e l' impegno contro l' apartheid.

The comparison of Saudi and South African apartheid, and the different
Western attitudes to both, has been made before. Recently the journalist Mona
Eltahawy argued that while oil is a factor, the real reason Saudi teams aren't
kicked out of the Olympics is that the "Saudis have succeeded in pulling a fast
one on the world by claiming their religion is the reason they treat women so
badly." Islam, she points out, does take other forms in Turkey, Morocco,
Indonesia and elsewhere. But Saudi propaganda, plus our own timidity about
foreign customs, has blinded us to the fact that the systematic, wholesale Saudi
oppression of women isn't dictated by religion at all but rather by the culture
of the Saudi ruling class.

I think there is another explanation, too. As a
nation, we are partial to issues that seem familiar, and the story of apartheid
South Africa had echoes in our own civil rights movement. It wasn't that big a
leap for Jesse Jackson to support the anti-apartheid movement when it was at its
peak in the 1980s, but it wasn't that hard for college students then, either: We
had been taught about institutionalized racism in school.
